Bellum Letale--A Pre-Made Roleplaying Community

[She sounds tired, but relatively calm]

I nearly left this on the inspector's post, but thought this would be better. He can't see it and as long as you don't repeat it, we should be alright.

[A deep breath]

If you heard my post from before, please ignore it now. If you are the counterparts, rather than the people here this evening - please, don't look it up. Understand that he's dangerous and there is nothing you can do to stop him.

[A bit bitter.]

Warnings at this point are rather useless. The same caution should be passed on for this 'Bran'. If he's anything like him, you should be just as careful. If things are the same - [Hesitantly.] I believe they are - be careful about talking to Charlotte publicly. It would be at the risk of your life.

Thank you.

[It clicks off.]

[Posted about 2 hours before sunrise.]

[There's a bit of silence before her voice begins. It's clearly tired, though she tries to hide her exhaustion with a wry tone.]

To all the people who are still awake - there's probably like two of you - let's play a game.

[She takes a long pause, trying to collect her thoughts.]

Let's hear what tonight has taught us all. If you learned anything, put it here. [She laughs, the sound tapering out into a whisper.] Make it good.

It may not have crossed your minds, but these forum posts should still be accesible when our respective counterparts return to the building. If you have a specific message to them or another, recording something for them would be a wise idea.

As warning to those of you haven't already thought of this - I can assure you, others will make use of this information later on.

[ Loud, serious. ]

Erik?

I'm searching for the Other Beauty. I'd like to speak to her please, if anyone knows her whereabouts.

Also, I normally don't socialize within the building, as I'm generally confined above-stairs for the duration of my time here, but I was curious if anyone else feels rather disappointed with this turn of events? We have limited time here, after all, and now we are all incarcerated as well?

Locked to R1

[Hopefully] Are you out there still?

[She clears her throat and begins speaking calmly and sounds composed but it is clear she is a bit stressed by the situation]

Excuse me, I cannot be kept here, I cannot be locked up like this. Not again. Nothing good ever came from locking someone away. I can see that I am not the only person in this position, should someone find their way out, I do hope you will share the secret with the rest of us. What if there's a fire?

[The rustling of skirts as she settles in front of it and then hysterical pleading] 

Please? Somebody - anybody  - Erik, please, let me out - please, please, please let me out - where's Meg? She didn't do anything - please, please, Erik, let me out - unlock the doors, please. Let me explain, please.

The full moon's coming, but I know you're all already thinking of that. It's just late, I can't sleep, and I'm wondering what's going to happen this time around. It'd be nice to remember it all this time around.

But this is only my second time with all of this. Do all of you remember what happens during the full moon? Or was that just the I haven't had much of a chance to talk to many about this and I was just curious.

And bored. But mostly just curious.

Did you get back alright?

I set things up with my friend. I didn't tell her anything except your name, but Ella and Sherri know it so except about the letter. She seemed to think there'd be an issue with you knowing that it wasn't really from Christine and thus Erik would know.

And I talked to Ella? She believes it now I think and she's going to leave it alone. Which is good news, I think?

[After this]

Did everyone make it back alright?

And you all need to

I'm also looking for a Sherri? This is Lotte - we met downstairs?

[Locked to 501]

I am I hope I have used the old fable post, here, to be finding you. I am sorry hope I am not intruding, but I find myself to be needing advice from other women.

In the locked rooms we were all having, I was required to have married Inspecto Luther a certain man. This man, I am liking him already, but this, it was very overwhelming. You do not think this marriage, it is for real, da? And if I may have possibly was running away, is there good way to be apologizing?

If I am running from man who kissed me, is there good way to be saying the apologies?

Jane?

I left it downstairs. The letter is unsealed, so you can see it and decide if it works. There's time to fix it if won't do. I rewrote it eight times and I think that was worse than the first

[...]

My friend has gone crazy and I think Can I bother you with a question, as well? You don't have to answer but I'm scared that Ella will do some

[An envelope and a small brown bag, unsealed. The letter is adressed to Erik and the bag has 'Behind the Mask' written on it. The script is neat and in black ink.]

( The letter )

[After finding this this. Daniel the Direct Approach strikes again.]

Do you know who did this to Ella?

[Edit: Locked to P3. After his exchange with Lotte concerning the matter, since Daniel does read Joyce but not often enough to get messages in a timely fashion.]

Did you stick the homicidal maniac in my girlfriend's apartment?!?!

[Public except against 1202A]

Hi.

I figured I'd ask here, but does anyone know any places hiring? Preferably not loud and don't mind crazy um For part-time positions? I've been running in to dead ends.

Appreciate the help. Thanks.

I am sorry to be bothering you, but you are the only three women I am knowing in Bellum.

American customs are not very familiar to me. If I am giving my phone number to an American man, and he is giving his to me, he should call, net? Or if he doesn't for two days, should I be calling him? I am This is I am not understanding Americans sometim In Russia, it is not so complicated.

Thank you for your advices.

Thank you - for the tea and helping with the contacting. You didn't have any trouble because of it, did you? I'm sorry if It went well though and he should be alright.

[Locked to 501]

Did you ever finish that book, James? I might need to borrow it back. I need to look something up for a [...] friend. 

[Locked to 905]

Ella? I heard there was some trouble downstairs. Did something happen?

[Locked to 1201]

I think I owe you an ice cream. And I haven't seen you in awhile.

Dearest neighbor in 905.

I don't know what in the world you do in your free time, but remember. Some of us are trying to live a peaceful, happy existence, and YOU ARE NOT HELPING WITH THIS BY BANGING AND GROWLING AND DOING WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU ARE DOING OVER THERE.

Please, for the love of God, could you keep it to a quiet roar? I didn't want to have to do this, but you don't seem to be reacting to me throwing my shoes at our adjoining walls.

Love and kisses,
Isobel
Your cranky neighbor in 906.

I was told you wanted to talk.

can't hurt Upon doing a little reading on the boards, I've found consistently that the tenants here seem to have had little to no luck with the police. It wasn't my intention to advertise within the building, but under those circumstances, I see no reason not to.

I do private detective work. If anyone has the sort of problem they would generally go to the police for, feel free to stop by my office ([address]). You can always try me at my apartment, as well, though I'd prefer to know in advance if you plan on stopping in.

I specialize in homicide and missing persons, and I do not do divorce work.

I also won't spy on your spouse for you.

That caveat aside, I'll take on almost any kind of case. And, in case you were wondering, my fee for tenants in the building is nothing. I'd rather see some facsimile of harmony maintained than take your money.
